Comments Decent entries in all sections for a Bank Holiday. Cattle met good demand but trade slightly easier in line with general trend. OTM met fast trade, with top price for a cow being 150p and £1,342.50.

Remarks Exceptional entry of couples - trade was good but more mixed than of late. Varying cow & calf trade with the best quality outfits being well sort after and a premium paid for the best outfits - but plainer types were much harder to sell. Smaller entry of 70 organic store cattle met an exceptionally good trade.

Remarks Excellent show of tremendous quality calved heifers and breeding cows met a cracking trade with an overall average of £1,220. Store sheep were again in keen demand, resulting in a flying trade. (See separate report for Welsh Black cattle show and sale).

Remarks Superb entry of 1,155 store cattle met a cracking trade with bunches of well-shaped cattle to turn out being the best sought after. Also in demand were the bunches of leaner good grazing types.

Remarks Welsh Black Cattle Society pedigree store sale of over 150 animals. Average prices were at levels not seen before. Cattle were excellently presented by breeders, which is a credit to them and in turn reflects on market value.
